Wrath VI 199 diamonds?

Title says it all, why would anyone buy these at this price when we used to get VII for 59 diamonds. Really 199? Frogster come on maybe for 4 of them.

And at 299 a pop you really got to want to be OP to to do that. Its hot and cold sales.

Why dont you spend the diamonds on charges to make those yourself if the price doesnt suit you? Let me know how much cheaper it is that way also :)

No need I have plenty of wrath VIIs from when they sold for 59 diamonds, I'm good! Oh and I'm okay with my block VII from when they were also 59 diamonds. Thanks for the suggestion though!

All im trying to point out is that things change. Gas used to be .25 a gallon...QQ'ing does nothing. The upped prices are here to stay for better or worse. Don't buy them if it's too much I guess. Idk what it would cost to make a X rune starting with IV's, but i imagine you are savings yourself quite a bit of diamonds even at 299. Looking at the past (FA), is going to accomplish nothing. After all, this is what, the 2nd time they've EVER been in the item shop?

Hey why you QQing my QQ! No I wanted to share with Frogster when they look at wrath VI sales and wonder why people don't want them, then they will say "Bloody ell govna! They sold higher for 59 diamonds!" As for X runes, 299 is fine but when I weight the cost of them vs what I actually get its meh...

Can anyone create an official RoM Fanboy song for me, I need an anthem!

Fyi, common sense doesnt mean "fanboy". I understand that it SHOULD be called "uncommon sense". So from your own mouth X runes are "fine" and VI weapon runes are not. Thats understandable considering FA offered VII weapon runes at 59 dias. This is like a kid saying "Well DAD lets me do what I want." FA is no longer in existence, meaning, you aint at dad's anymore broseph.

imo, the stats provided by the runes themselves, does not justify the cost. I can understand the X runes being overpriced, since it IS only the second time the states have seen them, but really... 94 stam & 77 def for 300 diamonds? On indigo, that's roughly 30mil gold. Glorious/Hero stats barely break 10mil per, and they provide you with 116 stam & 638 def per. Basically you're paying 3 times as much for roughly 60% of a glorious stat? And yeah, I can hear people saying stuff like, "well these are in ADDITION to the stats you can put on your gear!" And while that does ring true, it still doesn't justify the cost in my head.

I have a few of the VII's in my bank. Do you think they will sell on the AH for the 50-60 million it would cost for the gifting to make one from today's sale. NOT A CHANCE... Price is out of line and OP is right.

X runes will always be the best, you'll never need to replace them.
Glorious and Hero stats are only good till new content.

well that's until they decide to bring out XI runes, if it can make a buck it shall be patched! As for hero/glorious yeah how much higher can stats really go? Anyone see the highest level in the runes database? All through chapter 3 and beginning of 4 I kept atrocity out of fear Tosh would be out and all GC gear obsolete.

Dang I need to own a gear mod game!

Just cause X is currently the highest rank of runes in the game, doesn't mean that will always be the case. And besides, they release new runes with better stats every chapter. Imagine Ferocity X, Keeness X, Devil X...

Random 2x diamond anti-sale and so at normal price diamonds Tier X runes at $12. I'm going to pass. Should be $1-2 per.... I'd get 45 of them. As it stands - I'm going to buy 0. That's $0.

I have to say I am shocked at the rune prices also. There wont be any upgrading for me.

Stats always go up. We have Eternity stats coming up and then the Remains. But runes are limited to X. Doesnt mean they wont extend them, sure, but there is no indication that extension is planned.

They can always introduce some things that make what you are doing now moot and irrelevant. But without knowing what will happen, you have to plan around the game as it is, and not based on potential things for which there is no evidence. And that means until there is good reason to suspect that it will change, you plan on X runes being the best.

This is the very reason i do not buy runes on the first place even when they were cheaper. The only time i did buy is when they had the egg rice dumpling bundle with them. That was good value for $

True. I would've been alright (not awesomely fine, but alright/whatever) with it if it was only 2x the price of VII, so about
108 dias, but... not in this case, VI cost almost 4x what VII was... what kind of crazy inflation is that? O_o gotta love how FEU likes to masquerade sales pretending it's a deal when it's not really *rolls eyes*, the only buyers will probably b new ppl who aren't aware of what the runes originally cost...even more disappointing that this is during RoM Bday month too.... O_O leads me to think, maybe this is the "sale" $ for EU & FEU has us confused with them.

Plus, VI were lower in AH, before this "sale" occurred... who in their right mind buys it out of CS when it was lower in AH earlier this wk? Prolly still is from sellers who haven't readjusted their $ yet.

edit: just checked AH prices... prices r still the same for VI & VII, tho some runes, VI & VII are the same $ lol. You can get VII in AH for less than half of what u would pay if u brought dias with gold to use in CS to buy VI.

4x the price of a vii rune but only double the value in stats. I am a frugal spender. The upgrade does not justify the cost. 12,558 diamonds to upgrade your gear to have 3 tier x runes in each piece. I have so far and will continue to do well with the little vii runes i purchased for 1/4 of the price "back in the day".

Gas is a comidity and is subject to production and market values. Furthermore, it is a resource and price is ultimately based on being finite. Also, how long ago was gas 25 cents? Right, 20 years...
